The Mississippi Department of Human Services can no longer replace stolen SNAP benefits after Congress allowed a program to expire that replaced SNAP benefits stolen by card skimming and other forms of fraud.

MDHS is urging residents to change their PINs monthly and monitor transactions.

Y'all get that the Epstein files could contain photos of Trump so despicable it would be a crime to publish them—and violate FCC regulations to even thoroughly describe them—and it wouldn't make a significant dent in his MAGA support, don't you?

"Oooh, they're sure to abandon him *this* time!"

No.

It’s literally everything that makes life worth living.

And, of course, it’s life itself.

This is a great summary of what's going on in particular sections of the news media. It's obvious that the only real issue that the tabloid media has with Zack Polanski's mouth is that he uses it to say that we should lift up people who are struggling instead of the rich.

“…What do I want from COP30? I want leaders who will look their children in the eye and say: We chose courage. We stopped subsidising destruction. We stood with the global majority who did not cause this crisis...” - Zack Polanski

Yes! Exactly! Well said, Zack
Let's stop subsidising destruction.

This Govenrment need to stop standing on the side of polluters and instead tackle the cost of living crisis.

I had my disagreements with the BBC under Tim Davie but he was a decent man doing a difficult job.

To see Trump's White House claiming credit for his downfall and attacking the BBC should worry us all.

Despite overwhelmingly positive feedback, the Trump Administration is axing a tool that allowed Americans to file their taxes for free. It's disappointing to see the administration prioritize private interests over helping Americans save time and money filing their taxes.

Or maybe Senate Democrats are aware of how pissed off voters will be?

This alleged deal guarantees a BILLION dollars in spending for security and police at the Capitol, and then a pinky promise to hold a vote on ACA subsidies that will surely lose.

Not sure a billion will even be enough but OK.

Agree with this.

About to publish something on the airplane mess. But this too is ON THE REPUBS. It is not a reason to cave. Dems, it is a time to keep standing up.
Opening the government with no concessions from GOP merely to alleviate airline cancellations - when Congress has been dragging its feet for years on chronic FAA staffing issues - is a lame ass choice.

Also, doing it while the House refuses to work is appalling.
